Library Journal Review

The easy availability of clip art, photo imaging, and other types of transferable artwork makes personally created transfers generally more attractive than those purchased in craft shops. McCree, a craft designer and former editor of Handcraft magazine, provides step-by-step projects and techniques for transferring images to fabric, wood, stone, or polymer clay. The projects are mainly for household items such as pillows or flowerpots. A section of artwork to be copied for the projects is included. The up-to-date technical information in this book makes it a good selection for public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
